They serve the tea in a small dining area at the end of the main lobby.
You are given a wide variety of teas to choose from along with some sandwiches and cakes.
It`s a pleasant way to spend an hour or so relaxing in there and most folks tend to dress up in smart casual attire although I have occasionally seen folks in there in their park clothes which seemed a bit out of place.

Princess Breakfast Tea - A sweet custom blend of South African organic rooibos flavored with vanilla bean and a hint of strawberries. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, and naturally decaffeinated.

White & Green Teas
The most delicate of teas: White teas are highly prized because of their consistency of top buds and leaves only. Named after the silver down hairs that cover the young unopened bud.
China green tea is known for its mild and subtle taste, refreshing aroma, and pale hues. The leaves range in appearance from silver to deep emerald. Japanese tea leaves are often brilliant green, reminiscent of the lush gardens they are grown in. They produce liquor that range from jade green to light yellow, with a fragrant puckery and slightly sweet taste.

Jade Leaf Green Tea - Hand picked then withered and gently dried for delicacy and a hint of sweetness. Naturally low in caffeine.

Jamaican Spice - A zesty herbal infusion with red liquor and a bouquet of flavors, tartness of hibiscus and sweetness of cinnamon for a sweet, tangy, and spicy finish.

Nobo Whole Fruit - Full bodied and rich in sweetness. An array of berries and apple, accompanied with hibiscus, rose hips, and cornflowers.

Vanilla Rooibos - Rich and full bodied with creamy vanilla finish.

now please tell the rest of the US that tea is taken with MILK not CREAM and the world will be a better place

Actually we were at H&V once and they brought us tea with cream. I said argh no milk please. Now insert five minute comedy sketch here with waitress saying "milk? you dont want tea now?" etc... anyway end of it, she walked off and I heard another server say to her "whats the matter with them?" she said "they're english" the other one said "oh sure" :rofl:

Well, I'm the dissenting voice here. :sigh; (Not only do I like cream in my tea ) but I had the worst High Tea at the GF.

I'll take the time to drive to Mount Dora and visit the Windsor Rose for a proper High Tea from now on.

I know that it was probably just an off day, but spending nearly $100 and getting dry scones, sandwiches so old the edges of the bread were curling up, nasty berries and flat champagne, served by a woman who just didn't care a bit was more than I want to re-live.

The servers were lovely, they explained everything very well, and the food was very nice.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience Tink - that's a real shame. It is one of my favourite memories of last trip. Of course part of that could be that we banished the boys and just did a girls afternoon with some of the nicest company you could have.
